In accordance with our agreement to create and implement new entertainment for
the Magic Kingdom, we have an idea that we think you will find meets your
park's high standards for entertainment and education.

We have an act that we consider to be top notch, The Armonics; they are a group
that features an instrument called the Glass Armonica.  If you are not familiar
with this instrument, Benjamin Franklin invented it in 1761, all but abandoned
by 1800 as it was said to cause insanity and has recently been revived. It is a
set of Crystal Bowls that are "tuned", arranged on a spindle, spun and played
by running moistened fingers around the rims.  A more familiar version would be
water filled goblets, it creates a hauntingly beautiful sound. For more
information on this instrument, visit www.armonica.com.

We feel that the historic significance of this instrument would be perfect in
Liberty Square. Set up in front of the Liberty Bell near the Liberty Tree, the
group, dressed in garb from the 1760's with the lead as Benjamin Franklin,
would introduce the instrument and offer to let the audience try it. He would
then spend a few minutes on the contributions that Franklin made to our
society, including how the Turkey should be our national bird! Followed by a
set of patriotic tunes, they have never failed to wow an audience.  They also
offer an excellent repertoire of Holiday Music to be used for Mickey's Very
Merry Christmas Party!

The group also includes other instruments, a hurdy-gurdy, violin, and
keyboard.

We have scheduled daily performances at 10:00, 11:30, 1:00, 2:30 and 4:00, with
each lasting 20 to 30 minutes.
